Rainbow Six: Siege entered with a flashbang, but may leave with a whimper.
Evolve is an asymmetrical multiplayer game where a team of hunters chase down a monster. It was made by the hugely talented Left 4 Dead developers over six years before being released early in 2015, and I thought it was great. But publisher 2K, so convinced of the game's quality, put in place various DLC packages and pre-order bonuses to milk what it expected to be an enormous community. The perception took hold that Evolve was ripping off players—who had to buy the "core" game first—and it failed to sell in anything like the numbers expected. Now it's dead.
Rainbow Six: Siege walks a dangerously similar path.
The new monthly paid subscription for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege has sparked an outrage among the game's community.
Paid subs are coming, and every company is investing heavily in them. From Microtransactions to this type of stuff, the community has been vocal about the issues surrounding ripping customers off, but we are being let down by influencers and journalists in trying to fight off these abhorrent business practices. Influencers and journalists don't say enough about how bad this stuff is. Meanwhile th soft buyers in the general public are getting more outraged by the day and whales are being exploited to pay too much of their own money for pointless crap.
A paid sub is partly why I think Xbox can throw Black Ops 6 on to Gamepass day-and-date and still think of it as "good business."
So PC gaming kills subscriptions model, now they want to bring it back along with season passes, MT, dlc and whatever else they can think of. 🙄
What do you mean PC gaming kills subscriptions? PC gaming is what started gaming subscriptions in the first place.
Rainbow Six Siege Year 9 Season 2 Operation New Blood sees the Recruit rework, the introduction of R6 Membership and more.
Rainbow Six Siege with night maps, ranked mode shakeup, and a return to pure fun would be exactly what Ubisoft needs to return to this game.
Traditional sequels are a thing of the past, much like Bad Company 3 and another very famous and undelivered third entry that goes without saying
No wai, give us a rival to Ready or Not. Stop all this arcadey gameplay I in particular want the old R6 back complete with mission planning, the works. Call it a new series entirely, I don't care. As long as Ding Chavez and crew are back!!!!!
I do love Vegas series too though. They could have used the same gameplay in any city across the globe. R6: London would be awesome especially as the SaS HQ are based in Hereford where some of the members are from.
I picked up the game last week and got a good load of hours in over the weekend, im an old school fan of rainbow and never purchased an online only game so i picked this up cheap as i was sceptical.
I have not had a single issue connecting to any match, every time im in a game in no time. i haven't felt any need to pay for any micro transactions or any addons, but that might change once the new operators start to come with the season pass holders.
I personally am absolutely loving the game, its been a long time I've played any online game properly especially an FPS game, i can't stand the likes of cod and battlefield isn't close to what it once was.
I think they have done a great job with re booting rainbow, i would like more customisation and no single player is still pretty disappointing, but i spent most of my time on old rainbow games playing terrorist hunt anyway. maybe single player DLC further down the line.
Disconnections,rubber banding,team killing from the word go,shot around corners,sticking in scenery all still plague the game.Superb tactical game let down by the servers.
Game works fine, nice job Ubi
It is a love/hate relationship with me and this game right now.
